they will find a way to lose this game

Huge pick. Just need them to escape today, live to fight another day

Got to get this first win

Apparently no one is allowed to catch the ball yet..just a bad drop by Sproules which is easier to overlook giving his other plays but come on..

yea I give sproles a pass on that but (frank) that was key and would probably have been a touchdown

the eagles D has been a joke for years and now it's flip flopped

these 3 and outs suck

Hard to justify whats going on here. Watching Lecavalier play in pre season, even though he apparently worked his ass off in the Summer, working out, doesn't appear to be an improved player in pre season. Looked like the same Lecavalier as last season. I don't believe he is a better player than Brayden Schenn is right now. If they're thinking they can trade Lecavalier, than Vinny better pick up his game. At least with Umberger there is a noticeable change in his skating. Also wasn't impressed with Gagner. Not a great skater, and not hard on the puck. Unless he improves, I think Brayden Schenn is a better player than he is also. Vets sometimes don't play all out in preseason. We have to hope that is the case with Lecavalier and Gagner. As far as B Schenn not being in the lineup opening game, I'll believe it when I see it.
As far as the Luke Schenn situation. I've only seen Gudas play one pre season game. I was not impressed. I thought he lacked mobility, was slow to react, and didn't handle the puck well. He struggled for the majority of the game. I would not be in a hurry to trade L. Schenn. Based on that performance by Gudas, Schenn is the better player.

Vinny is playing with his career on the line essentially. He'd better be giving it 100% every shift. If not thats even more troublesome.

I'm not saying that at all. I'm saying he isn't going to see ice time if he doesn't wow the coaches or other teams around the league.

It's absolutely crazy that we're even talking about this like it could happen

His legs are shot. You don't get that back, once it's gone. Umberger was hurt. Wheels wasn't hurt last year. The legs are just shot

It's crazy that there is a possibility that he could be playing. That's just (frank)ing crazy to me. I've watched thousands upon thousands of hockey games, and in this particular era of hockey, Wheels can't play

A decade ago, yes. Clutch-and-grab, obstruction, sure. But this is an era of speed and skating, and he can't (frank)ing skate

I can't even believe we're talking about this -- I can't even believe this is even in the realm of possibility

Falcons just might be able to outscore the Cowboys

Man, that needs to happen, here

Could be -- all those 3-and-outs could be adding up

man the eagles have turned into a joke

Ha..seems about right for..ugh

Touchdown, Falcons -- they're gonna win

Come on, Eagles. Just hold the (frank) on

So neither team wants to win..got it

Ha! Yeah -- should've known that eventually, the Jets were gonna be the Jets

If they can get this one, though, any road win in the NFL is a good one, and maybe they can develop some confidence from here

Just gotta survive and advance, here

So neither team wants to win..got it

Certainly neither offense does, hopefully the Birds D and special teams will lock things down.

Re Vinny: At some point Hexy is going to be telling Vinny and his agent, look I offered you to all 29 teams, I made it clear that we'd retain the max 50% of your contract and I was even willing to throw in a 3rd to get a deal done. But, and I'm sorry if this hurts, NO ONE WANTS YOU. You can't cut it anymore, Vinny, you just can't. We'll carry you this year if you want to spend 7 months as a healthy scratch who just goes to practice and skates with Lappy on game day, or you can hang em up. Your choice big guy.

Sometimes the truth just hurts, Vinny.

are the eagles trying to get kelly fired?

WOW

can someone please get the Pope to bless the teams

You actually think that would help?

Blessings are nice, blocking though, would be much more helpful. Also some receivers with good hands would be nice as well

How could it possibly go down any other way, really? These other teams aren't blind

I've been saying for a while hes best opting out of his deal asap and going to Europe where he can still be a factor and make some good money. If he truly cares about playing at this point it's the only logical option.
